Energy Technology Roadmaps: G8 Status Report

In June 2008, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published its Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP) study, which evaluated scenarios and strategies to achieve a halving of CO2 emissions from current levels by 2050. The ETP identified those technologies that could play the most important role in achieving this outcome and presented the outlines of roadmaps for these technologies.

The IEA is now working with governments and industry in all major economies to further develop and implement these roadmaps to bring about the global energy technology revolution that is needed to achieve a more secure and sustainable energy future.
